There's a huge difference between a weightlifting squat where your feet are more than shoulder width apart, and a making GBS threads squat where your ankles are almost touching and your butt is lowered to almost ankle height. It's like comparing regular push-ups with diamond push-ups.

Now while you're off balance reach around behind yourself to wipe, unless you're one of those gross people that wipes back-to-front and approaches from under the balls.

Oh poo poo you can actually reach around? I'm gross and not flexible.

I guess I do both just to make sure my butt is clean but I'm mostly a underarm than a sidearm kind of wiper

Just don't poo poo in your pants.

We had a "can you squat" contest back in Korea and turned out there was only one guy we knew who could do the full on Asian/Slav heels together and feet flat squat. Everyone else's heels would come up off the floor no matter how much we tried.

I went to a town once, and some shirtless dude pointed at me and yelled the local dialect version of laowai, waited a second, then yelled it again. This went on for like ten minutes I'm not exaggerating, he followed me from a distance all through this little backwater town yelling it urgently every couple seconds with his arm outstretched trembling and pointing at me. Like I got some street food to eat, got up and went about my business and he was still off in the distance pointing and yelling. I don't know if he was mentally handicapped or what.

It was the weirdest poo poo, the stares are one thing but this was a whole other level.

And that's why it probably didn't viral. Not insipid enough.

Personally, I love the articles lauding some local lunatic's backyard killbot pieced together from phone parts stolen from local Western factories, using their insane hobby as proof that China will rule the world in the near future.

Saw some scorpions on a skewer like that at a street stall in Beijing (actually several and they were all in a row on a street) along with some emperor scorpions. I ate an emperor scorpion while two guys on my study abroad split a skewer of two. Iirc, the emperor was 50rmb or there about.

Equal rights in China!

https://www.hongkongfp.com/2016/12/07/beijing-court-issues-first-domestic-violence-protection-order-to-male-victim/

quote:

A Beijing court issued a domestic violence protection order last week to protect a male victim from domestic abuse from his wife, The Paper reports.

According to the Chinese news website, the court order required Ms. Lee to cease harassing and abusing her husband Mr. Zhang. This was also the first domestic violence protection order issued to a male victim by a Beijing court.

Zhang said that there have been multiple conflicts between him and his wife since they got married in 2014. Zhang was hospitalised after his wife physically abused him in May this year, suffering multiple soft tissue injuries.

The couple gave birth to a child earlier this year. Zhang said that Lee neglected the feelings of their baby when physically abusing him and verbally abusing her mother-in-law.

Zhang was abused again on November 29, after which he reported the case to the police. He applied for a divorce the day after, but the application did not meet requirements as his wife was still within the nursing period.

Instead, Zhang applied for domestic violence protection, submitting his medical history, photos of his injuries, and police report records as evidence.

The order was approved last Friday, and will be effective for six months. If Lee fails to comply with the order, she could face criminal charges according to Article 34 of the Anti-Domestic Violence Law of the People’s Republic of China.
How the hell he couldn't get a divorce is a mystery to me.

I took this picture while walking. I believe it is a wonderful parallel to modern China in every possible way.


EDIT: If you can't see it clearly, it's a fake rock falling apart and exposing the rusty rebar that held the shape of the fake rock.

I had a nice walk during/after the lunch hour while people were napping or stuffing their faces. Roads and sidewalks were calmer than usual, as the entire country, whether at work, school, or home, absolutely must eat lunch exactly between 12-2pm or else I don't know what. Death?
Anyway, I had a couple hours in the sun, since the temperature read 85F/29C. I got sweaty in my t-shirt and got some vitamin D on my face. Nothing very eventful or special since people were all inside during the mandatory lunch hour. Just a nice stroll in a park on a sunny, yet smoggy day.
On the Metro ride home I was sitting there and something popped inside my brain. I want to leave. There is nothing here that is very interesting or worth staying for. I am bored, and the stimulation I get outside is typically the worst kind (annoyance, anger, etc.). I have some good trustworthy friends, but those happen and are everwhere and doesn't mean it makes it any more special or fun being here. I tried doing the numbers on if I left and went somewhere else, but I am not sure about the exact costs or what is possible without first contacting a ton of other people and then discussing this with everyone, and I don't really want to spring this on my boss who really wants me to be here and we are bros.

Bleh. Anyone not in China, tip your carbonated soft-drink in my honor and plz pray 4 me 2 survive until my next window of opportunity in like March I think.

No one in Hong Kong can squat really well because everyone uses regular toilets.

I think that's why mainland girls have nicer legs, they squat all the time and wear super high heels

High heels are bad for your achilles tendon, they are the anti-squat. So yeah I guess that balances out.

I've been trying this out and I can't actually flat-foot squat either. I'm a shameful slav.

Always thought it was more about using it as a rest position when you're chatting with someone, or having a smoke or whatever, rather than it being a "good" squat or anything.

Kind of strange they would go through the trouble of making a fake rock. Seems like it would be easier to ask your Uncle Lao Wang for one from one of his quarries.
